* This work is based on Frank Palazzolo's F8 emulation in a standalone
* Fairchild Channel F emulator and the 'Fairchild F3850 CPU' data sheets.
*
+ * The 3850 CPU itself does not include the address bus, pointer registers
+ * or an interrupt controller. Those functions are provided by at least one
+ * of the following devices:
+ *
+ * - 3851 Program Storage Unit (PSU)
+ * - 3852 Dynamic Memory Interface (DMI)
+ * - 3853 Static Memory Interface (SMI)
+ * - 3856 Program Storage Unit (PSU)
+ * - 3861 Peripheral Input/Output (PIO)
+ * - 3871 Peripheral Input/Output (PIO)
+ *
+ * Of these support devices, the 3851 PSU includes 1024 bytes of mask ROM,
+ * and the 3856 PSU includes 2048 bytes of mask ROM; addressing for the PSU
+ * is also determined by mask option. The 3853 SMI may be used with external
+ * program ROMs.
+ *
+ * The PSU does not have DC0 and DC1, only DC0; as a result, it does not
+ * respond to the main CPU's DC0/DC1 swap instruction. This may lead to two
+ * devices responding to the same DC0 address and attempting to place their
+ * bytes on the data bus simultaneously!

Based on a datasheet obtained from www.freetradezone.com
- The SMI does not have DC0 and DC1, only DC0; as a result, it does
- not respond to the main CPU's DC0/DC1 swap instruction. This may
- lead to two devices responding to the same DC0 address and
- attempting to place their bytes on the data bus simultaneously!
